What Age is the Right Age?

So my baby girl is eight years old. About two months ago one of her breast got swollen and was sore. She complained about this once before and the doctor said it was probably a gland and normal for some kids. So this time around I thought nothing of it and decided to wait a week or two and see if it precise.

Well two weeks later, she still had it and it was hurting and we both were sick so I took her to the doctor to have it checked out and I got checked out for my own illness, sinus infection. The doctor said that it was possible that her breast were growing. That seemed odd to me, one because she is only newly eight years old and two because it was only one. The doctor told us to keep an eye on it and take her back in a month from that appointment to get reexamined. We have two more weeks to go. The doctor told me I needed to start having the conversation about development because of the possibly of her own development.

I looked at this kid a couple of days ago and she was complaining that they both hurt. Now I'm thinking, "Good God! Please tell me this kid's breast aren't growing." I don't give her process foods filled with hormones or anything to speed up the growth process. I am no where near prepared for all of this. I was planning on the age of ten.

Tonight I see my little girl sitting at the dining room table at dinner time and I got a glimpse of two nipples sitting through her shirt. WTH? OMG! My kid is growing breast!!!! It's official. I'm not ready. To top it off, hours later she is getting dressed for bed and someone said the word sex on TV. She repeated the word and I asked her what does she know about that word. She said she knew what sex was. I asked her shockingly what it was and she did this goofy kissy dance. My crazy child. I knew what she was trying to say. I asked her what was she doing. She said, "It's the nasty kind of kissing and butt touching." OMG! Help me please. Where did she get that? I asked her where did she get that from and she told me from something our former roommate was watching on TV. Looks like I don't have much of a choice now but to address the topic I had no intention of addressing until she was ten. I still think she is to young but clearly she has been exposed to the subject in more ways than one.

My curiosity is how young is to young in your opinion. When do you plan on discussing menstruation, sex, kissing and development with your young girls if you have girls younger than ten? If your girls are older when did you start feeding them that information? What about you moms and dads with boys? How have or do you plan on handling this topic?

Let's talk about it!!!!!
